Diddy Mow Bitches

You shouldn't traffick drugs into Taiwan because it's punishable by death. Likewise, in Vietnam there are several items punishable by death.

Trafficking undercooked food into one's body? death
Trafficking unpeeled, unwashed fruit into one's body? death
Trafficking unboiled/unfiltered water into one's body? death

Ok, so maybe most people are only charged with a bad case of drippy shits, but that hasn't stopped me from examining every morsel of food as if it had SARS smeared all over it, and regard ice cubes like they were solid blocks of cyanide.

nah honestly, the food here so far has been wayyyy better than i expected, and i haven't been sweating the disease situation so much, though it really really isn't encouraging when it seems everywhere i go somebody's either coughing or sneezing out an infected organ. oh, and the only hospital i seen looked like it was about to collapse. and the water tastes like peanuts and cheese doodles. but other than that, the only thing i'm sweatin' is the oldies...in the bars for westerners and tourists. eagles, whitney houston, and of course the beatles are local favorites apparently. i expected to hear a lot more wu-tang based on name recognition alone but no.
